After nearly a decade and thousands of wonderful recs, manifestos, discussions, and more, het_reccers is now officially and permanently closed, as is our Tumblr mirror.

This archive will remain, and readers can also check out its Dreamwidth counterpart and AO3 collection. Though these are managed separately, both are open for contributions and have more great het recs.

The mods would like to thank you, the community, for everything you have helped create. From the biggest fandoms to the crackiest rarepairs, you've brought us all great joy and even greater feels. We're grateful to everyone who's recced, read, and written so many wonderful fics.

Fandom is at its heart about the communities that form around the stories we love, and het_reccers has always been a prime example of fandom at its best.

I'm here a month late to pay my respects; it's been such a very long time since I've visited. It's saddening, but also awe-inspiring that it only ended a month ago! I love this comm still, and only wish I'd been more active on it before.
